Every summer, I become nostalgic
for my sleep-away days at Camp Matoaka in Maine. From the age of 10 until 15, I would spend 8
weeks at camp and I loved every second of it.
Those unforgettable experiences were helpful for when I moved to attend
college, since I was used to being away from home.
I also learned how to live with
other women – we shared cabins with at least 10 other campers. For example, I learned that we couldn’t blow
dry our hair at once (power outage!) and that it was fun to share clothes
(another wardrobe!) – among many other things young girls discover during the bumpy
rollercoaster ride that is adolescence.
I developed some truly amazing
connections over those summers. Every now and then, I will see what these
women are up to while logged onto Facebook. As an
adult, I long for those easy care-free days – not a worry in the world.
Do you have moments from your
childhood that you become nostalgic for?
Do they involve childhood friends and/or certain seasons?
